The baby was born in August, but Maddie didn’t talk about the diagnosis until October.
Maddie finally shared about Evie’s diagnosis, writing, “Caleb and I found out our precious little girl was missing more than just one finger. She was missing three fingers, a toe and her fibula. She also had a bowed tibia, a shortened forearm and some fusing in her fingers. It was at this point, the doctors diagnosed her with FATCO syndrome.”
As Evie has grown, Maddie has shared updates on her progress. She seems to be making some good progress and hitting milestones. Now, Maddie is sharing more details about Evie’s diagnosis.
Sister Wives star Maddie Brown talks about daughter’s diagnosis
In a new social media post, Maddie talks about Evie’s diagnosis. She also shares that she was blindsided. Maddie starts off her post by sharing that limb difference wasn’t on her radar. She wasn’t expecting it at all.
Then, she talks about starting to feeling guilty. She talks about asking herself what she did wrong. She remembers thinking she ate something she shouldn’t have or didn’t get enough exercise. Then, she says, “I was sad and immediately started thinking about how different her life might be than what I expected.” Through this, the Sister Wives star went through a “whirlwind of emotions.” Even though Evie’s internal organs are okay, and she’s fairly healthy, Maddie was distracted by the diagnosis. Eventually, things turned around when she realized that she should be grateful.
In her post, she also talks about what helped her and is still helping her. Maddie writes, “After Evie was born Jan Reeves @bjrorg told me that IT WAS OK TO MOURN THE LIFE I THOUGHT EVIE WOULD HAVE.” The organization Born Just Right seems to play a big role in Maddie’s life. It’s an organization for kids with disabilities. It seems like Maddie uses their resources to navigate life with a child with disabilities.
